I'm Watching You, Color.

Today I have OPI- The Color To Watch to show you. This is also from the Swiss Collection, just like Diva of Geneva which I showed you the other day. Now this is the color I was most excited about when the info for the collection first came out, mainly because I love me some purple. But it's just not doing a ton for me in person. I like it, but I don't love it; you know what I mean? Check out the pictures and see what you think.

It's a pretty purple with heavy blue flash. I love the base color of The Color To Watch, but the blue flash is just too heavy for me to love this polish. If it were toned down a little I think I would like it a lot better. Many people on MUA said this was really sheer, but my bottle was fine. This was three coats. I did try to see if it would layer, but it wasn't sheer enough in my opinion. I put one coat over two coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear- Concrete and it was exactly the bottle color.

Well, The Color To Watch...I'm a little bummed about you. Pretty, but didn't wow me. Not too crazy about the name of the polish either. I think I'm going to wait a few weeks and try this again to see if I feel differently about it.

What do you think of The Color To Watch? Have you had a polish you were excited about not wow you in person like this did for me?

This was originally the only polish I picked up from that collection. I wasn't totally impressed by it either, although yours seems to look a little different than mine. I'm not sure if it's just the pics but yours seems to have more of a frost finish than mine had and mine was really sheer. It is pretty but not spectacular at all.
